“I have used no foul language, and kept my arguments civil, to the point, and provided support for them. Yet you treat me to the same excoriation you “reserve” for those who you proclaim offend your sensibilities. “

You are accusing me of saying you use foul language? Again, you are quite verbose but unable to read to save your argument. Please quote me where I have done this. I DO care who you are. You are a newbie with a tired agenda against McCain, that much is obvious. It’s a shame you have nothing better to do with your time.

Ahh! A comprehension problem!

No dearie, I wan't claiming you were accusing me of foul language, and I clearly comprehend what you write, (though perhaps not what you mean to say...). I learned to read over 60yrs ago... when reading and comprehension were thought important skills. You know, dearie: before they invented photography. You had to paint pictures with words.[wink]

And, just to keep the "Old Fogey/Technologically Ignorant " jokes at bay: my specialty is in the fields of crypto & computer forensics.

And, where I am its in the very early AM, after 30h prep-exercise in MOPP gear (MOPP4: think those decontam suits on TV with a "gas mask" underneath it all...)

I do pretty well for an ancient fossil.

I was pointing out your level of scorn directed at me was akin to what you were directing at those using off-color language.

English 101

when "yet" is placed at the end of a list, it signifies a negation of the list. Therefore, I do not accuse you of saying I use foul language.
My Lord, are you ESL? My wife's native language is Mandarin, and she has no difficulty with complex sentences.

What level of education do you have? Have you done post-grad work in any area except the "soft sciences"? I know liberal arts and hard sciences require ability to organize cogent arguments....

"I DO care who you are. You are a newbie with a tired agenda against McCain, that much is obvious."

I don't want you to care who I am, I want you to mount arguments that answer the points made, not simply spew emotions all over like stale vomit!

ItÂ’s a shame you have nothing better to do with your time...

Lady, I'm a Col., USAF. I have many calls on my time, especially with the change in Civilian Control.
I also care about the Constitution and Country I've sworn to defend. I am appalled at your in ability. I can tell that you have a lot potential, but you're wasting it!

What a crime. No wonder we're so badly off.
